The Hello, Goodbye Window The Hello, Goodbye Window by Norton Juster and Chris Raschka

Publisher Comments
The kitchen window at Nanna and Poppy's house is, for one little girl, a magic gateway. Everything important happens near it, through it, or beyond it. Told in her voice, her story is both a voyage of discovery and a celebration of the commonplace wonders that define childhood. It is also a love song devoted to that special relationship between grandparents and grandchild. (read more)

The Man Who Walked Between the Towers The Man Who Walked Between the Towers by Mordicai Gerstein

Publisher Comments

The Three Pigs The Three Pigs by David Wiesner

Publisher Comments
This picture book begins placidly (and familiarly) enough, with three pigs collecting materials and going off to build houses of straw, sticks, and bricks. But the wolfs huffing and puffing blows the first pig right out of the story... and into the realm of pure imagination. The transition signals the start of a freewheeling adventure with characteristic David Wiesner effects — cinematic flow, astonishing shifts of perspective, and sly humor, as well as episodes of flight.
